Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Additional information

The surface tension of the test compound was determined experimentally in compliance with EU Method A.5 of Commission Directive 92/69/EEC. The determination was carried out using a surface tensiometer (based on ISO 304 Ring Method). An aliquot (0.1067 g) of test material was diluted to 100 mL with glass double-distilled water. After sonication and filtration, the solution was diluted to 90 % with glass double-distilled water. Data supplied by the Sponsor indicated that the test compound contained 6.9 % phosphorus. This figure was used to convert concentration of phosphorus to concentration of test material. The surface tension of a 0.352 g/L solution of the test compound has been determined to be 32.4 mN/m at 20.5 ± 0.5°C.
